We get to see a giant Titan squish enemy soldiers in its path as it gears up to fight Shiva. CHAOS ensues. We are then sent back 13 years to meet Clive's family and some friends and see how exactly this war has started. It. Is. EXCITING. The demo lets us mess around with the combat and get a feel...
